Scott Thomason

Matt and his team at North Bay Bavarian get my highest recommendation for professionalism, service, and quality of work. I purchased coilovers for my 1981 BMW E12 and was coming up short finding a shop that could install them. A friend recommended North Bay Bavarian and I was pleased to find out they were very experienced with older BMWs. They also had previous experience installing coilovers that required some fabrication. The installation was fast and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend North Bay Bavarian for all your BMW or euro car needs. New or vintage they do it all.

I am really impressed with North Bay Bavarian and wouldn't take my 2017 340i any where else. They are master mechanics who know BMW's inside and out. They take pride in their work and make sure everything is done right. I drive two hours to get my BMW to them and they are always very accommodating. I highly recommend them.

North Bay Bavarian did an amazing job with my Mom’s car.

I would not hesitate to bring any of my cars back to them.

Christian Andersen

First time there, although I’ve known about the shop for many years. They have a good reputation. Only reason I hadn’t used them is there was a bmw shop very close to my house.
They recently closed and I moved to the other side of town. Now closer to NBB, so I gave them a call.
They got me in quickly and performed the work while I waited. Price was fair.

2007 Alpina B7
Clear out sunroof drains. Installed replacement headlight switch.

I was in and out in an hour.

Hoppy customer. Will return.
